More bitterness from a bittered brain. What else is he/she bitter about? Likely, everything, including the imminent failure of Twitter. Even Trump could not save Twitter.

I suppose it’s time to shut it down so it won’t happen again.

Hmmm...was he sorry that Twitter also manipulated and meddled in the Russian election of 2011, and in 2012?

It seems like a lot of this goes back to the WH plan over Arab Spring, and eventually including Russia to the group that they wanted to use YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, and social media to bring change.

Go on and do it, Evan.

Go on and BAN the President of the United States from twitter you sorry POS.

That move would amount to corporate suicide, and none of your leftist socialist democrat sycophants will be able to save your sorry ass.

I hear that the inventor of the guillotine later regretted his invention too.

If they banned Trump from Twitter he would move to Gab.ai and within a month Twitter would be in financial chaos as millions moved from their service to gab.

The hit on Twitter stock would be tremendous.

BTW, I’m oyvey on Gab.ai :-)

Alfred Nobel, the inventor of dynamite, apparently had genuine regrets over his invention. However, I suspect that what the leftists did with his Nobel Prize he would find far more regrettable.

But I guess he has no problem with Islamic terrorists using his service?

It sure won’t be an AP hack who asks him that question, if ever.

lol.

I told some dopey friend not to buy it TWICE on it’s way down.

A stock’s price sinking doesn’t mean you add more, not a hard rule but in this case it was pretty obvious.

He/She/It should be trying to figure out why such an extremely popular and well visited website is doing so terribly.

Is the ad revenue not there? Why? Etc.

Revolutionarys always use the enemy’s weapons against them.

Think of the guns of Fort Ticonderoga seized by the revolutionary soldiers from the British, then dragged hundreds of miles and setup on Dorchester Heights to threaten the British fleet in Boston and force them to vacate.

Trump is a revolutionary.

Hmmmm, not a peep concerning the vile verbal attacks on any comment discussing, about, or from any member of the administration.

Speaks volumes of bad intent and thereby associates himself with vitriolic and uncivilized discourse.

Using only the NYT article on which this is based, I could put together a graduate level course on media/journalistic bias. The rhetorical violations and cynical manipulations it employs are staggering.

Groupthink has superseded independent analysis and lowered the bar of popular discourse to a subterranean level. It's rather like a snake oil salesman decrying the deplorable state of medical care in order to advance his own cause.

“Progressives” are always accusing Trump of putting his foot in his mouth. Yet they do this all the time. Could this fellow stop and think before he says something this stupid?

These people hate free speech.

Evan Williams is a Dem Party mega-donor. Funny how the AP didn’t mention that!
